In the last few weeks, for the first time in my life, I've seriously thought about the 21st century not being another American century. A recent essay in the journal Foreign Affairs by Rush Doshi and Kurt Campbell put things as starkly as I've ever seen. Some people are still stuck in a mode of thinking about China as being a place that just makes things of little value and significance. But Made in China means something different now. Technologically, China dominates everything from electric vehicles to fourth-generation nuclear reactors. Militarily, it features the world's largest navy. Its shipbuilding capacity is 200 times as large as America's. In a world built of cement and steel, China makes 20 times more cement and 13 times more steel than the U.S. In a world whose future will be full of electric vehicles, batteries, drones, and solar power, China makes two-thirds of the world's EVs, three-quarters of its electric batteries, 80 percent of consumer drones, and 90 percent of solar panels. In a world where wars are won by the largest militaries, consider that China's navy will be 50 percent larger than the U.S. Navy by the end of the decade. Today's guests are Kurt Campbell and Rush Doshi. Both men served on the Biden National Security Council. Campbell is the chairman and cofounder of The Asia Group. Doshi is director of the China Strategy Initiative at the Council on Foreign Relations and an assistant professor at Georgetown University.

www.iotusecase.com#GenAI #SmartManufacturing #PredictiveMaintenance Special episode recorded live at Hannover Messe: Together with Scott Kemp from SoftServe, we take a look at real industrial projects – including use cases from SCHUNK, Continental, and NVIDIA. The focus: smart data infrastructures, predictive maintenance, and practical AI applications on the shop floor.Podcast episode summaryHow can smart maintenance, AI, and global IoT infrastructures be put into practice – despite labor shortages and complex machinery? Scott Kemp, Head of Manufacturing Services, EMEA, at SoftServe discusses these challenges with Ing. Madeleine Mickeleit, sharing insights from projects with SCHUNK, Continental, and NVIDIA.SoftServe demonstrates how scalable IoT backbones and AI applications deliver real value – for example, an AI assistant at Continental that reduces MTTR and boosts OEE by 10%. With SCHUNK, SoftServe co-developed an IoT backbone spanning the entire machine portfolio, enabling end customers to perform maintenance with the help of assistive functions.This comes to life in the practical example from OptoTech: Product Owner Vineeth Vellappatt offers a look into an AI-supported grinding process on the SM80 machine – including error detection, parameter analysis, and concrete recommendations for action.Technologically, SoftServe combines structured sensor data with unstructured knowledge (e.g. SOPs), embedded into a RAG model for fast information delivery – implemented across Microsoft Azure, NVIDIA Omniverse, AWS, and more. Standards like OPC UA and Unified Namespace lay the foundation for scalability.At the core: compensating for knowledge loss, empowering new workers, monetizing services – and turning AI from a buzzword into productive reality. SoftServe follows practical frameworks like “Double Diamond Thinking” and Proofs of Technology instead of just POCs. The episode kicks off with a short impulse from Onuora Ogbukagu (Deutsche Messe AG).-----Relevant links from this episode:Madeleine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-mickeleit/)Scott (https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottkempmba/)SoftServe (https://www.softserveinc.com/en-us)SoftServe Assessment (https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/consulting-services/softserveinc1605804530752.digital_shopfloor_rapid_2_days_assessment-preview?tab=Overview&flightCodes=6871e3e649584bd2862e2c7a0f379bd5)OptoTech Lösung (https://www.optotech.net/en/product/detail/sm-80-cnc-tc~op25967)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen

Walton Institute at South East Technological University (SETU), Waterford, has been awarded nearly €350,000 through the prestigious Research Ireland U.S.-Ireland R&D Partnership Programme to lead a pioneering project aimed at enhancing the resilience of future mobile networks. The three-year project, titled NeTS: Small: Fungibility in Mobile Networks for Resilient 6G, is set to redefine how mobile networks operate under disruption, including cyberattacks, technical failures, and natural disasters. Led by Dr. Indrakshi Dey, Head of the Division of Programmable Autonomous Systems (PAS) at Walton Institute, SETU, the project will explore innovative methods for increasing the adaptability and robustness of networks. It is a collaboration with Professor Nicola Marchetti of Trinity College Dublin, the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) at Virginia Tech (VT), USA, and the Centre for Wireless Innovation (CWI) at Queen's University Belfast (QUB) in Northern Ireland. This project, funded by Research Ireland, will advance the global conversation on future-proofing mobile communication systems. At its core, the NeTS: Small project focuses on "fungibility", a concept that enables mobile network components to be replaced or reconfigured seamlessly, maintaining network functionality even amid disruptions. This revolutionary approach to network management ensures that, in the event of a cyberattack, technical fault, or natural disaster, mobile networks can reconfigure themselves to maintain connectivity and reliability for users. Dr. Dey, the Principal Investigator, emphasised the significance of the project. "We are pioneering a transformative approach to mobile network resilience. This project is not just about advancing technology; it's a crucial step in ensuring that societies remain connected during crises." Dr Deirdre Kilbane, Director of Research at Walton Institute, SETU says this project is just the beginning of a new era of digital connectivity. "With increasing reliance on mobile communication for everything from daily interactions to critical services, building resilient networks is paramount. This is particularly evident in the wake of recent events like Storm Eowyn, which disrupted electricity and water supplies, underlining the critical importance of robust communication systems." The enhanced resilience of 6G networks will have far-reaching benefits, particularly in times of crisis. The ability to sustain communication lines during disasters is crucial for emergency response teams and the public. The project will contribute to improving national security by ensuring that communication networks can withstand cyber threats and large-scale disruptions, guaranteeing secure channels for government and defence. Technologically, NeTS: Small pushes the boundaries of mobile network capabilities, particularly with the dawn of 6G, which requires ultra-reliable and fast communications. This project promises to offer enhanced network reliability by ensuring that mobile networks continue to function effectively, even in the event of partial failure or attack.

Are you ready for Humans 2.0? Whether you like it or not—this is happening. From transhumanism to AI, science and technology are progressing at a pace unprecedented in human history and this rate of change can leave many people—Christians or otherwise—feeling disoriented.

When Bitcoin Someday Becomes Displaced (Replaced) By a More Technologically Advantageous Crypto or Technology

Rerun: Supersonic aircraft took a giant leap forward when the French and British governments signed a treaty to join forces on designing Concorde on 29th November, 1962. Up until this point, the two countries had been developing their aircraft separately - which had already cost the United Kingdom £150 million. Technologically superior and far more luxurious than any commercial passenger jet that had come before, it was also the fastest - capable of launching its wealthy clientele from London to New York in under three hours. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the success of the 747 killed off supersonic flight; consider how Britain blew its chance to create 'the British Airbus'; and reveal why Pepsi's blue paint-job for Air France could have proven truly explosive… Further Reading: • ‘Concorde and supersonic travel: The days when the sun rose in the west' (The Independent, 2013): https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/concorde-and-supersonic-travel-the-days-when-the-sun-rose-in-the-west-8888836.html • ‘Concorde's first British test flight, 50 years on' (History of government, gov.uk 2019): https://history.blog.gov.uk/2019/04/09/concordes-first-british-test-flight-50-years-on/ • ‘Anglo-French Airliner Model Concorde' (British Pathé, 1962): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfPiPC6O7qs ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

John Hopkins PhD is Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management at Swinburne University of Technology. He is also Founder of WorkFLEX which helps people transition to new ways of working. John discusses how his academic involvement in supply chain dynamics and traffic congestion led him to investigate flexible working. He highlights the long-term sustainability of hybrid work, emphasizing its potential to reduce supply chain bottlenecks and improve work-life balance. John discusses Australia's new “Right to Disconnect” law and other countries introducing healthy work boundaries. He predicts work time reduction is the next big work topic.     TAKEAWAYS   [02:08] John starts his working career with a mechanical engineering apprenticeship.   [02:37] John studies mechanical engineering with management, focusing on supply chains.   [03:15] Learning about global business flow working at a car parts supplier.   [04:10] John's PhD on e-commerce explores emerging virtual marketplaces.   [05:35] A UK defense project John works on uses technology to support fast decision-making.   [06:34] Researching traffic flow, supply chain challenges relate to office-centric work culture.   [07:30] John questions why people are commuting each day to the office.   [08:55] Employees' tools are no longer city based.   [09:50] John and his partner travel around the world, love Australia and pledge to go back.   [11:40] John's interest in technologies enabling supply chain communication and collaboration.   [12:20] John wins an innovation fellowship and uses his research on flexible working to launch WorkFLEX.   [13:30] The pandemic hits and John develops online course content to help people adapt.   [15:20] #1: Companies wanted flexible working and reacted quickly given enough motivation.   [16:23] #2: Attitudes and behaviors adapted rapidly as well.   [17:20] #3: 2024 has been a seminal year as hybrid is firmly embedded in Australian work practices.   [18:24] John finds the hybrid compromise to be a win-win.   [19:57] Most companies are not implementing hybrid well, not customizing the model.   [22:00] We need to discuss with employees what work they are doing and where = how.   [24:50] How the pandemic shone a light on the supply chain.   [25:30] John was Mr. Toilet Paper for a while in 2020!   [27:40] Research that combines supply chains and flexible working.   [30:32] Lack of effective risk management in supply chains was highlighted during the crisis.   [32:35] Cities were designed based on people flow—e.g. where water processing is needed.   [33:40] Some of the return to office push is related to investment in city infrastructure.   [36:19] Scale is the biggest issue with supply chains.   [37:10] Technologically sophisticated supply chains are patchworks of thousands of moving parts.   [38:22] We take for granted the relationships that enable us to have easy access to so much.   [39:25] Trust is essential to make the supply chain work.   [41:28] The new “Right to Disconnect” law in Australia comes into effect in August 2024.   [42:25] Before 2009, we actively needed to “connect” to access work outside office hours.   [44:44] The norm of being connected was never specified, so the law is a first healthy boundary on work practices.   [47:40] France's similar law in 2017 did not reduce productivity and emergencies are excluded.   [48:22] Giving workers confidence to not respond and reverse unhealthy behavioral norms.   [50:04] Governments may not need to create more mandates; flexible work is already in process.   [50:38] The Right to Request Flexibility laws in Singapore and the UK.   [51:25] Next step may be the Four Day Workweek, now ‘work' is being discussed broadly.   [52:50] The intensification of work combined with longer working hours.   [54:04] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Keep it simple. Go to the basics. Make decisions based on ‘would the customer care'?       RESOURCES   John Hopkins PhD on LinkedIn WorkFLEX Australia John Hopkins PhD press on the “Right to Disconnect”       QUOTES (edited)   “We need to start thinking about what the work is that the people are doing and how often they should come together based on that, not based on anything else.”   “I feel that one thing the pandemic has done is that it's allowed us to have discussions about anything to do with work.”   “Trust is a really big thing. So in terms of supply chain, you need to be able to trust that you are going to get from a supplier what you need when you need it, in the quantity that you need, and the quality that you need.”   “We've got this intensification of work because we have all these tools that do things quicker and quicker for us. We're working more hours and doing more per hour.”   “Let's not have these mandates that just say two days or three days or whatever, with no further thinking or justification behind that. That's going to upset everybody.”   “Looking at flexible and remote work and flexible work arrangements and how that can impact and benefit supply chains. Let's remember that almost every organization has a supply chain. So everybody's got some support in a supply chain somewhere along the line.”   “My big prediction in terms of what will happen next in this whole kind of field is more about work time reduction.“   “It was never written into a policy that I'm aware of where we would say, you will be available to do this, you will be available to do that. It's a societal norm that has evolved.”   “What this law is doing, or it's certainly taking the first step towards achieving, is putting a boundary around work time and rest time.”   #fourdayworkweek #timereduction #supplychain #hybridmodel #righttodisconnect #australia #bottlenecks #flexibility #flexibleworking #congestion #trafficflow #worklifebalance

Https://www.patreon.com/isyanderandkoda You already know how to please the Machine Gods at this point so thank you so much. And make your voices heard for which faction you would like to see next! -Isyander Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching. The Dark Eldar, also known as Drukhari, are a sinister and malevolent faction in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Originating from the ancient Eldar civilization before its catastrophic fall, the Dark Eldar differ from their Craftworld kin by embracing the corruption that led to their society's downfall. They retreated into the Webway, establishing the dark metropolis of Commorragh. This city, vast and labyrinthine, is the heart of Dark Eldar civilization, a place of perpetual darkness and home to millions of Dark Eldar and alien beasts. Commorragh is divided into numerous districts, each controlled by different Kabals, Wych Cults, and Haemonculi Covens, featuring gladiatorial arenas, armories, and vehicle bays​Dark Eldar society is structured around these Kabals, Wych Cults, and Haemonculi Covens. Each Kabal is led by an Archon, who maintains power through assassination and ruthless governance. Wyches, the gladiatorial warriors, are organized into Wych Cults, performing in arenas for both sustenance and entertainment. The Haemonculi, twisted flesh-sculptors, run the Covens, providing dark technologies and grotesque enhancements. Over time, Dark Eldar suffer from "The Thirst," an all-consuming need to drink the souls of other beings to stave off the leeching effect of Slaanesh, the Chaos God who consumes their souls upon death​ Biologically, Dark Eldar possess superior strength, reflexes, and senses compared to their Craftworld cousins, attributed to their physically demanding lifestyle and perpetual conflict within Commorragh. They lack psychic abilities, avoiding them to prevent attracting the attention of Slaanesh. Technologically, Dark Eldar are highly advanced, utilizing anti-gravity devices, dark matter weaponry, and various poisonous and destructive tools.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Analysis of key AI analogies, published by Kevin Kohler on June 30, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The following is an analysis of seven prominent AI analogies: aliens, the brain, climate change, electricity, the Industrial Revolution, the neocortex, & nuclear fission. You can find longer versions of these as separate blogposts on my substack. 0. Why? AI analogies have a real-world impact For better or worse, analogies play a prominent role in the public debate about the long-term trajectory and impacts of AI. Analogies play a role in designing international institutions for AI (e.g. CERN, IPCC) and in legal decisions Analogies as mental heuristics can influence policymakers in critical decisions. Changes in AI analogies can lead to worldview shifts (e.g. Hinton) Having worked with a diverse set of experts my sense is that their thinking is anchored by wildly different analogies Analogies can be misleading Matthew Barnett ("Against most, but not all, AI risk analogies") & others have already discussed the shortcomings of analogies on this forum Every individual analogy is imperfect. AI is its own thing, and there is simply no precedent that would closely match the characteristics of AI across 50+ governance-relevant dimensions. Overly relying on a single analogy without considering differences and other analogies can lead to blind spots, overconfidence, and overfitting reality to a preconceived pattern. Analogies can be useful When facing a complex, open-ended challenge, we do not start with a system model. It is not clear which domain logic, questions, scenarios, risks, or opportunities we should pay attention to. Analogies can be a tool to explore such a future with deep uncertainty. Analogies can be an instrumental tool in advocacy to communicate complex concepts in a digestible and intuitively appealing way. My analysis is written in the spirit of exploration without prescribing or proscribing any specific analogy. At the same time, as a repository, it may still be of interest to policy advocates. 1. Aliens (full text) Basic idea comparison to first contact with an alien civilization symbolizing AI's underlying non-human reasoning processes, masked by human-like responses from RLHF Selected users Yuval Noah Harari (2023, 2023, 2023, 2023, 2023, 2023, 2024) Ray Kurzweil (disanalogy - 1997, 1999, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2017, 2018, 2023) Selected commonalities 1. Superhuman power potential: Technologically mature extraterrestrials would likely be either far less advanced than us or significantly more advanced, comparable to our potential future digital superintelligence. 2. Digital life: Popular culture often envisions aliens as evolved humans, but mature aliens are likely digital beings due to the advantages of digital intelligence over biological constraints and because digital beings can be more easily transported across space. The closest Earthly equivalent to these digital aliens is artificial intelligence. 3. Terraforming: Humans shape their environment for biological needs, while terraforming by digital aliens would require habitats like electricity grids and data centers, which is very similar to a rapid build-out of AI infrastructure. Pathogens from digital aliens are unlikely to affect humans directly but could impact our information technology. 4. Consciousness: We understand neural correlates of consciousness in biological systems but not in digital systems. The consciousness of future AI and digital aliens remains a complex and uncertain issue. 5. Non-anthropomorphic minds: AI and aliens encompass a vast range of possible minds shaped by different environments and selection pressures than human minds. AI can develop non-human strategies, especially when trained with reinforcement learning. AI can have non-human failure modes such as ...

In his book Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves, Matt Ridley argues that Homo sapiens overtook the stronger Neanderthals and, indeed, the rest of the animal kingdom, to become the dominant species on earth, by doing something no other animal does – by exchanging things. “There was a point in human pre-history,” he says, when “people for the first time began to exchange things with each other, and that once they started doing so, culture suddenly became cumulative, and the great headlong experiment of human economic “progress” began. Exchange is to cultural evolution as sex is to biological evolution.”This applies not just to the exchange of objects, but the exchange of ideas, knowledge and information, of skills and services – just about anything. “If I catch the food, you cook it” means that I could specialize in catching – and become better at it – while you specialize in cooking and become better at that. With my superior catching and your superior cooking we both now enjoy considerably better lifestyles. Mankind also progresses through the subsequent improvement of catching and cooking techniques, which are then passed on to t he next generation. There is an exchange taking place right now. You are reading my material. I benefit from your eyeballs and the increased awareness of my work that every writer so desperately craves. You are benefitting from my words in that you might find entertainment, interest or wisdom in them. We are only able to do what we do today because of what was done in the past. It is only because of the cumulative work of millions of people – from Steve Jobs to Alan Turing to Shakespeare to millions of people who I'll never know or even hear of – that I am able to write this essay on this Mac. I don't know how to build a Mac, I don't know how to extract the oil necessary to manufacture its component parts; I can't make paper or ink or printing presses, yet, because of the cumulative effects of the exchanges of millions of people, I'm now able to exchange my work – itself the product of studying the work of many others – with you.The collective intelligence of mankind is far, far greater than what can be held in the mind of even the brightest individual that ever lived. That collective intelligence keeps on growing. There is no limit to it. ‘The extraordinary thing about exchange,' says Ridley, ‘is that it breeds: the more of it you do, the more of it you can do. And it calls forth innovation.' The more we exchange, the more we progress. This accumulation of intelligence over generations has led to a situation where, even a hundred years ago, to quote the French philosopher Ernest Renan, ‘The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life'.But the reverse applies as well. The less we exchange, the less we progress. Exchange is limited under oppressive, totalitarian or bureaucratic regimes, which is why they are overtaken by freer neighbours. When we stop exchanging altogether, there is regression.10,000 years ago, as Ridley argues, rising seas cut off Tasmania from mainland Australia. Isolated, the possibilities for exchange diminished. Technologically, the Tasmanian people actually regressed.It follows, therefore, that for individuals, families, communities, nations – indeed mankind – to prosper and progress, conditions need to be as conducive as possible for trade and exchange. It really is that simple. That should be the primary agenda of every policy-maker and leader in the world: to create an environment conducive to exchange. This means a marketplace where, from tax to tariff to bureaucracy, there are as few barriers to exchange as possible. It means a marketplace where there is trust and confidence. It means a market in which ownership of property is secure. It means a marketplace where participants can operate without coercion or crime; where good practice is rewarded with success and bad practice meets with failure. It also means a marketplace whose medium of exchange – money – is dependable.I'm talking, of course, about a free market.Until next time,Don't forget to check out Wednesday's piece, if you missed it: This is a public episode.

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his series in Genesis chapters one through eleven. We look back all those thousands of years to the time right after the flood, and we see that man's penchant for doing ungodly things has not changed. Technologically we're very advanced, but sin-wise, we're still stuck in the mud from the flood!

And an important voice will join the show to explain how to build a union, especially when you're up against corporate gaslighting and intimidation tactics. Today's bonus episode is shaped by questions and comments from listeners subscribed at the Democracy Defender level and higher, including how opportunistic China benefits from the Israel-Hamas War and the nefarious Chinese connections to American protest group Code Pink, revealing a vast pro-China network on the global Left. China, Code Pink, and the sex trafficking network of Hefner-Epstein-Trump, and more are discussed in this week's bonus show.  If you didn't hear your question answered this week, look out for it next week, as the Gaslit Nation Q&A continues.   Dictators are dangerous for many reasons, especially because, as the social ills grow, they need a war to cling to power. Putin needed a war to maintain the status quo, and so did Netanyahu. In China, it's increasingly dangerous for social media users to expose poverty or other crises, like youth unemployment or how difficult it can be for many to put food on the table. With US foreign policy stretched thin by the war in Ukraine and Israel-Hamas, now would be an opportune time for China, which has been aggressively building up its nuclear program and A.I. arsenal, to annex Taiwan, something Xi has been outspoken about since consolidating power in 2017. Technologically dominant groups get away with carrying out genocides. So a technologically dominant China would be a danger to the world.  Chatham House, the independent British think tank where in 1933 Gareth Jones shared his eye-witness account of the Holodomor, Stalin's genocide-famine in Ukraine, invited Andrea to join a Twitter Live discussion this coming Wednesday November 8 at 10:30am EST.
